Arriving Early for a Flight

It is common knowledge that you are required to arrive at the airport in advance of your flight. But how early should you arrive? Planning out your pre-flight schedule can be a stressful time for any traveler—which is why I’ve outlined a few recommendations to help you plan.

When Should You Leave for the Airport?

The most important thing is to make sure that your transportation leaves early enough! By pre-scheduling your transportation with Top-Notch Taxi – DFW DAL Airport Service, you’ll be sure to get to the airport on time. But the question remains: What time should you leave?

Here are some tips for determining when to schedule your pre-flight transportation:

Most airlines require that you arrive at least one hour before your flight, so check this before you do any scheduling.

How big is the airport? Bigger terminals take longer to navigate, and security will take longer because there are more people.

Where are you going? It’s recommended that you arrive 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights.

Consider baggage and boarding limits. If you’re checking a bag, make sure you arrive early enough to check it in. Likewise, keep in mind that some flights have boarding limits that don’t allow you to board if there are less than 20 or 30 minutes until the plane takes off.

By keeping these tips in mind, you can make sure that you’re right where you need to be before your flight.
